-
you lose your sense of self(a high sense of self is sometimes a big cause for suffering)
- people generally feel good when we go through that experience

schizophrenics have it worst. They Believe that everything that happens around them is tied to themselves

Ego death → peace

ego hyperactivation → suffering

“psychedelics helps with depression”
- not true. It only helps if psychedelics were able to help you with the de-identification (ego death)
-
so a better way to say it is: “ego death helps with depression”
E.g.
- I have this persona that I cling on to
- you open yourself up for pride, which goes hand in hand with insecurity
Solution
- we generally learn to distance ourselves from these personas as we grow up.
